Include its storey, frontage and rear position on the available plan.

For Battersea (moisture and movement survey): Does the term studio explain a later mezzanine?
Request the drawing and project records for the actual changed layout. A historical building description should remain distinct from evidence about a particular mezzanine or concealed alteration; during Battersea masonry surveys, mortar porosity across Battersea is logged photographically (Battersea fee guide: from £650 plus VAT).
For Battersea (damp or crack diagnosis): Which documents help scope a former stable conversion?
Identify the converted opening, enclosed space and roof connection on available drawings. Attach the records naming those changes and keep later decorative work separately identifiable; on Battersea pathology instructions, dew-point loggers in Battersea track relative humidity (Battersea fee guide: from £650 plus VAT).
